On January 29, 2025, our U.S. Figure Skating family suffered an unimaginable loss when several members of our community—athletes, coaches, and family members—perished aboard American Airlines Flight 5342, which tragically collided with a helicopter in Washington, D.C. These individuals were returning home from the National Development Camp in Wichita, Kansas, a place where young skaters take their next steps toward their dreams.
We are devastated by this loss and are holding the victims’ loved ones closely in our hearts. In response, we have established the U.S. Figure Skating Family Support Fund to provide support to those U.S. Figure Skating families directly impacted by the tragedy.
Global Impact, an intermediary organization, is serving as the administrator of this fund.
